Well - sorry for the image size. Just got these shot tonight - didn't adjust the size.


This will be mine once I get a nice photo.

looks fast, what scale is it?

I never noticed that PENZOIL had two Ns.

Two Ns yupper - it's a 1/25th scale Revell kit.

While touching up my Shell of a man project I found the roll cage to this beast and I'll have to re-shoot photos with that added.

Nice Zip-a-long, Scott! I like it. Is this the model you were looking around for "Wrinkled Slicks" for? I can't tell from the picture.
And Penzoil has just one "n"? I never really noticed. That's odd. As a related side-note to that, I once had a Harley poster that had the logo on the bottom, yet it was spelled...get this, see if you notice, HARLEY-DAVIIDSON.
Nobody noticed unless I actually pointed it out. I wondered if there was a "Licence" issue because, I won the poster at a carnival.

Again, nice build, Scott. Looks awesome.

I just did a google search on Pennzoil Top Fuel and The Team does have two N's. If you look for the Oil it Only has 1. So it may be a licensing thing.
Or a change in the name over time.


This is the car I was looking for new slicks for. I ended up making my own out Sculpy. I narrowed the bulge and expanded the diameter to represent the car about 20 feet down the track.

Nice job on the TF car.

I thought the cockpit looked funny....What time frame is the kit from?

Pennzoil has been a major sponsor in motorsports since the 1930’s and was never spelled with one “N’.

What time frame is the kit from? Dave that looks like the 1997 season car.
